The newborn suddenly has no bowel movement for a day

If a newborn suddenly does not have a bowel movement for a day, parents should pay attention. We know that children have more bowel movements when they are just born. If they suddenly do not have a bowel movement for a day, this may be related to gastrointestinal distress and indigestion. If the child has a sore throat, this may also occur. There are many reasons for this, and it may be related to improper feeding. Let's take a look at this aspect.

The newborn suddenly has no bowel movement for a day

1. Caused by indigestion. Because the gastrointestinal function of infants and young children is not yet perfect, indigestion is very likely to occur. This situation is normal. Newborns are not born long ago, and their gastrointestinal function has not yet fully developed. Their ability to digest some things is obviously not up to par. So it doesn’t mean that babies have to poop every day, or have to poop several times. Every baby’s absorption is different.

2. The newborn has a slight fever. This is mainly because the newborn has not yet fully adapted to the milk powder or breast milk he consumes, and he has a little heat in his body. This is also the reason why the baby is unable to defecate in time due to the accumulated "heat".

What to do if a newborn baby has not had a bowel movement for one day

1. First of all, you need to massage your baby's belly every day. Use the three middle fingers to massage around the baby's belly button in a clockwise direction for 5 minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. This can help speed up the baby's intestinal peristalsis and make the baby produce a bowel reflex.

2. Children should be trained to develop good bowel habits when they are two months old, so that they can defecate on time. It is best to defecate in the early morning or before going to bed at night. Defecation in the morning is best, as defecation at night can help children sleep well at night. Having a bowel movement before meals can help children eat well, but not having a bowel movement after meals. The mother should first observe the child's bowel movements, and then consciously and regularly arrange bowel movements according to the child's situation. When defecating, the mother should make "mmm mmm" sounds with him.

3. Give your baby more boiled water, and buy some Qinghuobao or something like that for your baby to ensure normal gastrointestinal digestion.

It is actually normal for a newborn baby to suddenly not have a bowel movement in one day after 25 days. This is mainly caused by the child getting angry and the digestive function is not yet perfect. Mothers do not need to worry too much. If you are really worried, you can try massage, drink more warm water, or take some medicine to solve the problem, but be sure to consult a professional doctor before taking any medicine.
